merge 268713 444261 tags 268713 + pending thanks After reading the commends and patches in BTS reports 268713, 288098 and 444261 (which are all the same issue), I have concluded that the best approach is to make sure the manual package and the usage output from update-rc.d is identical, and that the solution used in the manual page (using SS and KK to mark the start and stop numbers) are good solutions. I've commited this fix to svn to solve this issue.
